We drank the 2004 last night with some really fresh halibut and it was heavenly. It was very aromatic right on opening but had the slightest savory bitterness in the mouth at first. I think it was a bit tight and coiled, as this went away with air. It kept improving until it disappeared, really fine wine and great food match with the white flaky fish. I was thinking this has every chance to be as good as the 1989 version. Well maybe that is a bit of hyperbole, but anyway I wake up this morning and find an email from CSW offering a few bottles of the 1989. So there it is.

Still my favorite vintage of that decade. Yes, even over 2002.

Pete, it's a Muscadet from Luneau-Papin, le L d'Or. It's a top cuvée along with their Clos des Alees and Excelsior Clos des Nöelles (and a few others). See the Winedoctor for a complete description:

Brian, it's a delightful memory to share....I clearly remember you and BJ and I digging on that bottle at the gallery. Time will tell, for those wise enough to stow a few away, but intuitively I felt it a gem with legs.

How is the '05? I picked up a bottle late last year because I was so excited to see that a new local retailer was stocking a lot of LDM wines that I had to show my appreciation by buying something, but I spent most of the last several years tuned out of the wine world and am slowly getting caught up.
